Starting on Monday July 14, Fan Community members will be able to vote on their favorite songs performed during MATCHBOX TWENTY’s North American tour.  The songs that receive the highest number of votes will be included on the wristband.

Last October, MATCHBOX TWENTY visited Google’s offices in CA to play a private show for the Googlers.  Thousands turned out to see this!

The songs and Q&A from that show are being posted on the new blog here. Make sure to check back next week when the final videos are added!

Regrettably, Matchbox Twenty will not be able to perform at Cheyenne Frontier Days on July, 18th. After careful consideration, it was decided that participating in this event would directly contradict the mission statement of SIDEWALK ANGELS FOUNDATION, our non profit organization. The other members of Matchbox Twenty support this decision and while we understand that a great deal of effort went into the planning of this show, and apologize to any and all fans who purchased tickets to see us. We ask that they please understand that it would be impossible for us to put ourselves in the position of making money from what we believe to be the mistreatment of animals.

Sincerely,

Rob and Marisol Thomas and The Sidewalk Angels Foundation
